INNOCENT VICTIMS OF CRIME.
Mrs. Schwab. accompanied by Mrs. schnnu-
belt and schwab's two pretty little children.
called ut the jail this morning to bid farewell
to her husband. Tho afflicted wife Of schwab
was pale, and her eyes were swollen and red
with weeping Her white face was rendered
ioubly sorrowful and mournful by the heavy
mourning drapery hanging down her back.
Her dress was of the sarue sombre material.
and as che crossed the jail yard from the eide
entrance to tho jail office she presented
picture OF woe Her hesd was inclined In front
and her cyes were rivttcd on the stony surfscc
Of the jail court floor as she passed over Il.
When within thirty feet OF tho steps sho
stopped, cast her eyes ahead. and with
q shudder buried her face in her black glnved
hands There. In front Of her. under the stair
way. in plain sight, were tho four painted
collins into which tho four victims OF tho
hanging were lowered Yesterday. Three oi Tho
collins lay on the top Of each other. while tho
ono in which Spies's shrouded form was low
cred lay apart from the rest. 1t was q grim re-
hinder of the terrible scenes OF yesterday. 3ut
she passed on and around at the foot OF tho
steps. Here she paused again. and biting lor
Inns to keep back her fast rising tears, she
mounted the stops.
Mrs. Schnaubelt, who 10 . very feshy woman,
followed closely behind. and the two li:ts
children, clad in dark red plush. trimmed with
fur. crswled up the cold Iron stops on their
hands and knees. Doorkeeper Pierce promptly
admitted the four. and.chairs were given the
two women. One Of the little babics-he ms

The Juveniles loud CRY sounded through tho
corridor and echoed aloft, and the cells around
and above seemed to grasp the shrin voice and

his cell and saw his little son. His long arms
wsnt up to his thick black hair. and he pressed
his hands to his throbbing brow. When the

spots and she brcsthed hard. 1t was the last
parting before the close Of tho stony wails On
Schwab for life. Mrs. Schnaubelt and Schwa.'s
wife sat on chairs provided for them, and

Mrs. Tielden came shortly afterward, and IL

this time removed. The little frail woman
